Living Creatures




Living creatures at the throne
In His presence you alone
Have stood for ages at His feet
Defenders of the mercy seat
Bull and eagle, lion and man
Your wings for covering cannot stand
For stones of fire n’ere paved a way
Christ splits the skies to save the day.

Demons tremble Mountains shake
Angels assemble as Oceans quake
You are here to lead many sons to glory
You come to lead sinners on to victory

The anointed cherub who fell to earth
Now witnesses His judge’s birth.
For every scheme the devil lies
And nothing that old serpent tries
Can stop this love from coming down
It forms the chains by which he’s bound
For from Your presence sin shall flee
These things that angels longed to see

Demons tremble Mountains shake
Angels assemble as Oceans quake
You are here to lead many sons to glory
You come to lead sinners on to victory

Come the dayspring from on high
The light of righteousness now rise
You are our life, the light of men
And darkness cannot comprehend
How boldly we stand before the throne
Surrounded by the fiery stones
That burn in your most holy place
So we blaze till we see you face to face.
